This is most commonly used to refer to movement within the virtual environment e.g. how an avatar navigates the virtual world, but can also refer to movement outside of the virtual environment e.g. how the experiencer navigates the real-world while in a virtual experience.

Locomotion mechanics in virtual reality can be broken down into three primary categories:
1. Perambulation
2. Teleportation
3. Transportation

Other VR peripherals include those looking to simulate real-life objects or apparatus e.g. bikes (VirZoom), weapons (PS VR Aim, The VR-15 from VRsenal), shoes (Taclim). Peripherals can also be classed as devices that help enhance the environment e.g. candles.

virtual reality (VR) places the experiencer in another location entirely. Whether that location has been generated by a computer or captured by video, it entirely occludes the experiencer’s natural surroundings.
